 From the Administrator and Designer of 
"Friends4ever" Community
 
 �� I started 
"Friends4ever" community site�just for a fun in November, 2006. I, along with some of 
my friends thought of a website which would be for our friends only; something�that 
would let us to be more close to each other, know our friends in a much better way 
and where we can share our thoughts and feelings. So I started working on 
it; first job�was to choose a good webhost providing adequate webspace, good features 
and foremost thing is at least 99% uptime. I shifted the�whole website five
 times from one webhost to other in the search of this�before 
the final launch of the site. Then I started�the construction of the site; 
I mainly used PHP language, little bit of JAVA scripts, MySql database system 
and of course HTML in writing the whole site. After long two months of 
working on�it, the site finally launched on 15th  of January 2007. 
On�this day the site�was released on the web for viewing and 
opened publicly for registration. I launched the site as a non-profit website, 
and to prevent spamming on�the site, I limited the registration to 
closed�network of friends (to know further about this refer to Registration-criteria  
help). Now the site is up to you all, hope you enjoy this 
site. Thanks,Subhash Bose , (Friends4ever 
Administrator and Designer)What�"Friends4ever" site is 
all about? 
 � Friends4ever (F4E) is a Community 
on the Internet. It was build to know our friends more closely and in a better 
way. Friends4ever is not a site to make new friends on the web all over the world, but 
to hold our existing friends, to be more close to them, 
sharing every little feelings and to spend more time with our valued friends. Our prime 
intention was to build up a community of trusted friends and to�provide an aid�to hold on 
those friendships forever. To know more about Friends4ever click here  to goto the About section of this site.Change / Update History / Upcoming

current status will be displayed.

are three buttons. The first button, Full Profile, will open up a page that 
contains the user's complete profile with all the information they have chosen 
to make available. The next button is the Private Chat button which will open a 
private chat window between you and that user. The third button is the Send Mail 
button, this button allows you to send the user an offline 
message.

certain things to the user who's name is currently displayed in the profile tab.

that appear under this menu will change depending on what permissions you have 
and what abilities the selected user has. You will always be given the option to
